Hagrid's words surprised not only Harry and Ron, but even Hermione frowned.

Once again, Hermione realizes that adult wizards don't have the same perspective as young wizards.

She was hell-bent on saving the house-elves from their miserable situation, but she had no idea what so many people who used house-elves would think, as Ron said, his mother had always wanted to have a house-elf, and Mrs. Weasley was undoubtedly a good person, if even she thought so, you can imagine what a wizard like Lucius Malfoy would be about liberating the house-elves.

"But Professor Blaine promised me that he would pay the elves and give them all sorts of vacations as long as they agreed—"

Hermione said stubbornly, she now kind of realized how good Professor Bryan was to talk. Still frowning, she unconsciously folded her arms as she tried to convince the wizard outside the school as Tum slipped off her lap.

"You can't expect everyone to be like Professor Blaine and Professor Dumbledore--"

Hagrid hit the nail on the head,

"How many people can be as noble as they are? And, take Professor Bryan's request, Hermione--"

Hagrid said solemnly,

"You let the house-elves get paid, but what do they do with the pay, no wizard will sell things to the house-elves, their hard-earned Galleons will be targeted by some bad guys in the turn of their heads, you don't expect the Ministry of Magic to call the shots for them, right?"

"Impossible!"

Harry said categorically,

"During the Quidditch final, the Ministry of Magic didn't even let Remus sit in the best seat, and they sent the Aurors to watch him and others like him."

"yes--"

Hagrid smiled, and Harry couldn't spot the bitterness in Hagrid's smile,

"So, get it, Hermione, it's not something you think it's as simple as you think, let's talk about holidays, it's not practical, holidays aren't a good thing for house-elves, they're born to take care of people, they like that, understand? They would be sad if they were not allowed to work, and it would be a shame for them to pay them. ”

"But I heard that when Harry freed Dobby," Hermione immediately retorted, "Dobby was so happy at the time!" ”

"yes, yes, there's some freak in every creature. I don't deny that there are a handful of quirky elves who want to be free, but you're never going to be able to convince most elves to fight for freedom - really, it can't be, Hermione, look at this little one! ”

Hagrid, who had been in a serious tone, suddenly looked at the kitchen happily,

"It's doing my job!"

Hermione immediately cast a stunned glance at the kitchen, and found that Winter, while she was in a trance, had snuck into the kitchen and was helping Hagrid, who had quietly brushed Hagrid's basin-sized bowl into a glow, and was now wiping Hagrid's greasy, black stove.

"Stop, Winter!"

Hermione yelled in a fit of rage, causing Wintermu to throw away the rag in his hand.

Looking at Hermione rushing over, Hagrid looked up, looked at his cabin, and said with a little regret,

"Seriously, I really don't have a house-elf here to help me wash and scrub, and the last time Professor Moody came to me to express his willingness to patrol the Forbidden Forest for me, he also suggested that I clean up and clean up--"

"Tum wants to help Mistress Granger's friend clean the house—"

Tum looked pitifully at the annoyed Hermione, as if she had been suddenly interrupted by Hermione's wonderful pleasure.

Hagrid raised his eyebrows and stopped talking, and Hermione, who was clearly aware of the difficulty of the matter, sat on the bench in a huff, holding her arms and not speaking.

To be honest, Harry didn't want to be involved in this trouble, so he shrunk his head and remained silent, but a blue light suddenly flashed outside the window as dark as an abyss, and Harry was stunned, and just as he was thinking about what the light was, Ron said,

"I guess my mom would be willing to take it, Hermione, or else—"

"No way, Weasley!"

Hermione was furious,

"I'd rather keep Hagrid here so at least I can watch him stay out of bullying!"

Hermione's chest gasped violently, she looked at the silent Hagrid, Tooth, Harry and Ron with their necks curled, and finally, her eyes stared at the worried little Dom, and a sudden sadness rose in her heart, a feeling of isolation and helplessness, but if even they didn't support her, then who could help her?

"Well, I've decided!"

In an awkward silence, Hermione suddenly said aloud,

"I'm going to start a house-elf rights promotion association, and you're all members of this organization!"

"What!" Ron exclaimed, "I didn't promise that!" ”

"Our goal now is !!" Hermione suppressed Hermione with a louder voice, her pure orange pupils flickering with fire, and in a tone that could not be denied,

"Getting more people into the organization, and then, convincing the house-elves in the school to accept the pay and vacation, I went to Professor Blaine and asked him to make good on his promise. In the process, we need to learn from the experience, then spread the experience to the entire wizarding world, and eventually, let the Ministry of Magic legislate to protect the rights and interests of elves! ”

Judging by the expressions of Hagrid, Harry, and Ron, it was clear that they thought Hermione was crazy.

Hermione ended up leaving Dom with Hagrid, the only person she trusted to help her. Last school year, when Ron misunderstood that Crookshane had killed Madmad, she also entrusted Crookshane to Hagrid for a while in order not to let their relationship end completely.

However, she also set rules for Hagrid and Tum.

She wouldn't allow Hagrid to summon Dom, or do anything other than play while at Hagrid. She told them that she would try to come every day to teach Dom the right concept of life.

"I need to hurry up and make a program and a concrete action plan for our promotion association——"

Hermione, who was hiding under the invisibility cloak, still chattered,

We have to have a conspicuous mark to distinguish between those who are our own and those who are still waiting to be persuaded by us. Because our members may be many—"

Ron let out a strange cough that sounded like mockery.

"Harry, next Wednesday, the two of us need to spread the word about it in Professor Bryan's PE class, and Professor Bryan has already shown his support for us."

Harry wanted to remind Hermione how angry she had been with Professor Brian, and how he hadn't promised her anything at all.

The three of them walked quickly into the shadows cast by Hogwarts Castle, and Harry and Ron both walked as fast as possible, trying to get rid of Hermione as quickly as possible, and when they climbed the stairs outside the castle gates, Harry almost fell because of his fast pace.

"Oh, be careful, Mr. Potter—"

Behind the majestic gate, a hoarse, low voice suddenly came. Quietly late at night, the sound was like thunder, and the three of Harry were dizzy.

It's over--

When Professor Moody's limping figure walked into the moonlight, the thought came to the minds of all three of Harry at the same time.

"This cloak of invisibility is very good, whose one is it?"

Professor Moody's blue MAGIC Eye and normal eyes were aimed at where they froze, and he said exactly where they froze, leaving Harry with no more luck in his heart, as he met a third wizard who could see through his invisibility cloak tonight.

"It's mine—"

Harry took the initiative to pull down the cloak of invisibility, and the three little wizards stood outside the door as honestly as quails, baptized by Professor Moody's gaze.

"Normally, shouldn't you explain to me why you're wandering around the castle when it's time to go to bed?"

Unexpectedly, there was not much anger in Professor Moody's voice, which gave Harry a glimmer of hope that they might get away with it.

"It's my fault, Professor Moody—"

Hermione's face was swollen and red, and she no longer spoke in a domineering tone, she lowered her head and said,

"I have a question about the whelch I'd like to ask Hagrid, and Harry and Ron are afraid that I'm in danger, so they insist on staying with me-"

Harry and Ron both frowned, trying to refute Hermione's claims, but Hermione behind them suddenly grabbed the soft flesh on their waists, and they gasped in pain.

"yes--"

Professor Moody stared at Hermione's face and said in a amused tone,

"You brought Hagrid a gift along the way, didn't you, Miss Granger, and I must admit that you were a noble little wizard—"
